Arthur Gousset

I'm a software engineer and product builder.

• German and French
• Had a MacBook long before being allowed a phone
• Went to ETH Zurich before dropping out to join a startup
• Launched a product with more than m users

• What I cannot create, I do not understand: It's important to understand the domain we work in
• Prefer simple, avoid clever: Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming
• Less, but better: Do the most important things, and deliberately say “no” to everything else
• What important problem are you working on?: Originality in choosing problems seems to matter as much, if not more, than originality in solving them

• Hyperdrive, exploring the world of problems faced by engineering orgs that want to use AI
• Speakeasy, an app that let's you message people - not because you're invited - but because you're already qualified
• SocialConnect, a service that maps phone numbers to blockchain addresses (used by more than m Opera users)

• Slides, code, and video for my talk "Building with purpose, building for all" at EthCC
• Slides and video for my talk "Building with Purpose: Introducing SocialConnect" at Co:OPERATE Paris
